Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Beauty deceived people.

Jiang Zhi kept a straight face on the set as she beat her chest and stomped her feet in regret.

She couldn’t resist Lu Mian’s bewitchment and actually agreed to get him a role.

Wasn’t this abusing her power?

Jiang Zhi’s thoughts drifted. Just as she was planning how to speak to Director Zheng, she saw Jiang Lu slowly walking towards her.

Jiang Lu revealed a delighted smile, as if she was deeply in love with Jiang Zhi.

“Sister, I never expected you to enter the entertainment industry as well.

“But sister has always been at home and has never come out to work before.

“If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me anytime.”

Jiang Zhi pretended not to hear the sarcasm in her tone and was too lazy to expose her hypocritical mask. She only said lightly, “Oh, I got it.”

She stood there coldly. Her long-term high-end elite education made Jiang Zhi’s temperament out of the ordinary.

On the other hand, Jiang Lu was like a maid who was trying to please her.

For a moment, the difference between them was obvious.

Jiang Lu secretly clenched her teeth, and a flash of hatred flashed across her eyes.

She hated Jiang Zhi’s arrogant and noble face the most.

Jiang Lu glanced at Jiang Zhi, who was explaining things to Yu Wan, and sneered in her heart.

She would slowly let her “good sister” understand that Jiang Zhi was nothing without the Jiang family.

In the first scene of “Beacon”, Jiang Lu faced Yu Wan directly, and it was a scene with physical movements.

Jiang Zhi could not help but frown, but she soon felt relieved.

There were so many people, and it was the first day of work. Jiang Lu would not be so stupid as to look for trouble with Yu Wan now, right?

But she had clearly overestimated Jiang Lu.

“Slap!”

The loud slap caused Yu Wan’s entire face to turn sideways.

Director Zheng immediately shouted, “Cut!”

He held the loudspeaker and shouted angrily, “Yu Wan, don’t turn your face away! Pay attention to the camera, the camera!”

Yu Wan covered her red and swollen face, bit her lips and nodded silently.

However, in the second scene.

Jiang Lu raised her palm high again and threw it mercilessly. However, because she used too much force, her body swayed and she lost her balance.

“I’m sorry, director Zheng. I was too immersed in the scene and couldn’t help but bring my emotions into it.”

Jiang Lu admitted her mistake humbly and actively cooperated, “I can reshoot it.”

Director Zheng could see that Jiang Lu was deliberately looking for trouble. He frowned and said, “Just get it over with and don’t delay any further.”

Jiang Lu’s attitude of admitting her mistake was good, so director Zheng couldn’t blame her.

Yu Wan could only use an ice bag to apply it for a while. Her eyes were red and she silently changed into her costume.

Jiang Zhi narrowed her eyes slowly and looked at Yu Wan whose cheeks and eyes were red. The anger in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

Jiang Lu pinched her wrist and gently swept her gaze over.

“I’m sorry. It’s easy for me to take things seriously at work. You don’t mind, right?”

Yu Wan was in so much pain that she could not even feel half of her face. However, she could only bite the bullet and say that she did not mind.

The corners of Jiang Lu’s lips curled up slightly. Just as she was about to repeat the same trick, she suddenly heard, “Wait!”

Jiang Zhi stood out expressionlessly. “Director Zheng, the swelling on Yu Wan’s face hasn’t dissipated yet. It’ll get caught on camera.”

“I suggest that we start shooting after half an hour.”

Yu Wan truly needed to be tended to. Director Zheng could only announce that they would continue shooting after half an hour.

“Sister Jiang, I’m sorry.”

Yu Wan lowered her head guiltily. It was all because she was useless.

“It has nothing to do with you.”

Jiang Zhi picked up the ice pack and gently applied it to her wound. The marks on her palm were clearly visible. It could be seen that Jiang Lu had used almost all her strength at that time.

“She is targeting me, targeting ‘Star Glory’.”

Her tone was very soft, but the coldness contained within could not be underestimated.

Before the third scene started filming, Jiang Zhi went to look for director Zheng.

“Director Zheng, this is Yu Wan’s first time filming. There are many technical things that she is still learning.”

She held the script in her hands. It looked like she was asking for advice, but there was a hint of toughness in it. “I want to do a scene with Jiang Lu first and give Yu Wan a demonstration.”

Director Zheng was not a fool. He could naturally see the twists and turns.

However, behind Jiang Lu was Swallowtail Entertainment company, while behind Jiang Zhi was Cheng Yi’s Star Glory.

He could not afford to offend either one of them.

He might as well turn a blind eye and let them compete. “Just go ahead.”

Jiang Lu changed into her costume. Her lips were bright and alluring, and her eyes were pure and innocent.

“I never expected sister to know how to act. It seems that you’ve hid so many things up your sleeves.”

Jiang Zhi curled her lips slightly, and her eyes were calm. “It’s just that you guys never paid attention to it.”

The third scene —

Jiang Lu’s tone instantly became domineering. Her beautiful eyes glared angrily as she berated, “Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that? !”

A trace of hatred flashed across her eyes. She raised her palm forcefully, using almost all of her strength to throw it out!

Since Jiang Zhi had delivered herself to the door to be beaten, she might as well fulfill her wish!

A trace of joy flashed across Jiang Lu’s heart. However, in the next second, her seemingly powerless hand easily grabbed onto her arm.

Jiang Lu’s expression changed.

It hurts!

It hurts!

The corners of Jiang Zhi’s lips curled up slightly, but there was a chill in her eyes.

Immediately after, a powerful force attacked. Jiang Lu was caught off guard and her feet lost their balance. She staggered a few steps back and fell on her butt.

She fell on her butt!

Jiang Zhi, on the other hand, was dressed in a cloud-like robe and tassels. Her eyes were aloof and proud. “No matter what my status is, it’s not your place to step on my head!”
